Railroad's Responsibility
Railroad overpass bridges in Mount Joy
continue to be one of the community’s most
ominous problems!
A recent hearing in Lancaster failed to find
answers to Mount Joy’s problems. In fact, it
served principally to underscore and to em-
phasize the magnitude of the situation.
About all that was done was to restate a
suggestion made months ago that ‘‘someone
should make an engineering study of the
seriousness of the safety of the bridges.”
And — of course, the question which always
attaches to such a general statement — “Who
will pay for the study?”
At this point, too many people want Mount Joy
to pay!
As we see it, the bridges are the responsibility
of the railroad.
They were built by the railroad, have been
maintained by the railroad, they are the
property of the railroad and the only reason they
were ever part of the community is because the
railroad wanted and needed a right-of-way
through the borough for its fast trains.
Anyone’s effort to pass the costs off to the
borough has not considered the historic,
traditional and probably contractual
background of the situation.
For anyone to suggest that the borough should
take over the bridges and their maintenance
must be talking with his ‘‘tongue in his cheek.”
Does anyone know what this kind of financing
costs”?
Such amounts as $100,000 were bandied around
the hearing room at Lancaster. That was for a
study only.
The bridges are the responsibility of the
railroad.
About as close to the borough anyone can
reasonably come with financial responsibility,
perhaps, is PennDOT, which may have an
obligation to keep roads over the railroad open
and the bridges in safe repair.
